Bala hails strings of changes in national team set-up

New Delhi, Oct 30: As the Indian Senior Women’s Team camp in the capital for the forthcoming back to back International Friendlies against Vietnam on November 3 and 6 respectively, Bala Devi hailed the recent changes in the National team set-up which she feels has "helped the players in innumerable ways."

"Since making my debut in 2005, I have been playing in the National Team for more than a decade now. But there has been a string of recent changes, and all for good,” she maintained.

Laying out a proper diet plan, carbohydrate balance, protein intake, are aspects which are being taken being care of nowadays, and all of that helps players recover faster," Bala explained.

"When someone assesses your performance from the sidelines and explains it later, it helps you detect the mistakes. Understandably, the next time, you'll certainly want to avoid them,” she maintained.

"Since January 2019, we have played around 20 International matches. We played in the COTIF Cup, away matches against Hong Kong, Indonesia, Uzbekistan, and now we are slated to travel to Vietnam. In addition, there was the Hero Gold Cup, the SAFF Championship, the Olympic qualifiers," said she. (UNI)
